Myelitis Following COVID-19 Illness.

COVID-19 occurs due to infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), which has caused havoc globally. It presents with a wide range of symptoms, mainly respiratory symptoms, but with time various neurological manifestations of the disease have also been noted, like myelitis. This case report aims to shed light on COVID-19-associated myelitis so that potential neurological complications of COVID-19 can be identified and treated timely. We report a case of a 41-year-old male who presented with weakness of all limbs with urinary complaints. He also had a cough and sore throat for the past few days. The MRI scan of the spine showed long segment myelitis in the cervical cord extending from the cervicomedullary junction to the upper end of the C4 vertebral body. COVID-19 myelitis is a rare but severe complication of COVID-19 infection and needs to be discussed.
